    Meet the Greatest Athlete in the World

    Have you ever wondered who is the greatest athlete in the world? We hear about the best basketball, baseball or golf players but what about the best overall athlete. The Wall Street Journal spent almost six months researching the very best.

    They brought together five sports scientists and exercise psychologists and reviewed a list of 79 male athletes. They measured them based on individual performance, power, coordination, reflexes, stamina, speed, etc...

     The top 10 list was revealed this morning and Reed Albergotti the man behind the article for the Wall Street Journal came on Money for Breakfast to tell us who made the top 10.

    Take a look. There are some BIG surprises!

I'm not sure what they spent six months researching all they had to do is watch last weekend's US Open to see that Tiger Woods is one of the greatest if not the greatest athlete in the world. For him not to be in the top ten makes the whole research project meaningless.

This was a very interesting video, but I cannot believe they did not factor in business success! Also, I really liked how they utilized ceratin tools to come up with the rank such as how difficult the sport is. Also, in order to get a more attention grabbing headline there is a tool called glyphius out there that helps creat unique headlines and increases your security score! It's a wonderful tool!! I hope that next years list will factor in business success I believe that is only fair!
